Folks, I am not necessarily trying to promot Ray Pillow but I just got his new CD yesterday. It was recorded with the Grand Ole Opry staff band and hoss, it is traditional country with a kind of modern sound. Tommy White plays some of the tastiest licks I have ever heard. Every one of the musicians really shine on these 12 songs. They are all new songs and I am impressed and I am not easily impressed. If you want to hear some genuine country music you gotta get this one. It is called "Ray Pillow Country Class" and i mean to tell you it is from the first song "I Do, But I Don't" to the last one "I Wonder Who's Missing You Now". Just thought I would let you know about this great country CD.

Gere...I've always liked Ray's voice..there's parts of his tone placement that's reminiscent of Mel Tillis. Anyway, give the rest of us a clue as to where to get one. |

A few weeks ago, there was a thread about favorite singers. I mentioned Ray in my post, I've always thought he was a great singer. I never got to work very much with Ray, but loved seeing him when we worked the opry. Great guy too, I used to play alot of golf with him. Wouldn't it be great to see Ray have a huge hit?

It is available from his web site but I got mine at Ernest Tubb Record Store out by Opryland..I had heard him being interviewed and they played a cut and told myself I have to have it...so I went and got it and have played it a zillion times already.

Pat, pay special attention to "I Wonder Whos's Missing You Now". Tommy really out does himself on the turn around on that one. I listen to it over and over and in fact am listening to it now as I type. Sooooooooo good.
